Up for auction is a 1976 Corvette Stingray Coupe. It's an L-82, numbers matching. It is owned by a close friend, who doesn't have an ebay account. It use to be long to my best friend since 2006. Tony bought it just before his passing in 2011. It originally was bought new in Oklahoma, then sold in Arkansas. Where it resided till 2006, when My best friend Bob brought it to Missouri. It's been here since then.
This numbers matching Corvette Coupe has never been wrecked, and has only repaint, in 2008. The carpets were replaced in 2009, and the luggage rack was added at the same time. Floor mats were bought during the same time period.
The engine is an L-82, that burns no oil and runs very strong. Transmission does not leak or have any problems. The trailing arms were rebuilt in 2010, and all front bushings were replaced then as well. It now, as of 2010, has a new 3 row aluminum radiator. and all new hoses. The clock doesn't work. The radio works, but to perform better, it needs modern guts put inside. Air Conditioning will work, but leaks out in about a week. I think it is O-rings, from sitting so much.
The wheels and tires came off another 76 Corvette Tony sold. They wanted the rally wheel combo, so he switched. Tires have about 80% tread. And there is a key for the wheel locks.
Tony just, in the past 2 weeks had the ignition system worked on. All new plugs and wires were put on, because the chrome headers would burn them up. He also at the same time replaced the headers for factory exhaust manifolds. And reduced the exhaust tubes back to 2 and a half inch, back to factory size. A new over flow bottle was installed as well. Old one leaked real bad.
I have driven this car on several occasions, and can tell you that it is a joy to drive. I have placed it in several car shows as well. It shows that nice.
Now the bad. It has a small oil leak from the rear main seal, and it sits way too long in Tony's shed. Basicly driven when I get a chance. He enjoys his C5 more.
This classic C3 Corvette Coupe needs a home where some one will enjoy it, and maintain it. Every time I drive it, people give thumbs up, or comments how how cool it looks. If you like to brag, then this is the Corvette for you. Every one wants to ask questions when it parked.
I think I have covered everything about this car. If there are any questions, just e-mail me, and I will answer your questions or concerns. Thank you and good luck

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
